Do You Thinking Bashing the President Should be a Crime?

[dstr]

No, and it matters not whether it is informed or uninformed "bashing" free speech is constitutionally protected.

Baraq is a strange little man.

The only thing he is qualified for is serving poolside umbrella drinks to middle-aged women on a cruise ship.

"Bashing" is too vague a term to withstand First Amendment scrutiny. If you threaten the President with violence, that's a crime already. But "bashing"?

[Me Ne Frego]

Hell yes! It makes perfect sense to dedicate resources to such a grave offense and to stop dicking around with actual crimes.


Let's go with your plan.

Nope, freedom requires allowing others to be free. You are free to ignore them.

[Lee]

Hell no.Y/A would have to shut down if we did.

[Ivan]

Freedom of speech, same as that little thing about the certain movie on youtube.

No. Bashing the President or anyone else is impolite, but it shouldn't be a crime.
